Commentary

Matthew Henry on Deuteronomy 24:5-13

Here is, I. Provision made for the preservation and confirmation of love between new-married people, Deu 24:5. This fitly follows upon the laws concerning divorce, which would be prevented if their affection to each other were well settled at first.

Note, 1. It is of great consequence that love be kept up between husband and wife, and t…

John Gill on Deuteronomy 24:8

Take heed, in the plague of leprosy,....

According to all the law that the Levitical priests have sworn to you. It is shown here that every priest was a Levite, although not every Levite was a priest.
